Been working on an Atelier fan game in RPG Maker VX. ^_^

Saori of A Reyvateil's Melody helped out with the graphics on the bridge.  

[Asashikka]

Amazing progress so far! *A*

Were you able to find some artists yet?  

[Palsa-San]

No, I'm still looking.
It is a pretty big list though, so it might be awhile, and seeing that the art quality will have to be similar to the original games makes it a little harder.  

[Asashikka]

That will be difficult since it's a independent fan-project (and more or less, is only ran through personal motivation and interest than possible monetary gain). ^^;  

[Palsa-San]

Exactly the case. ^_^
For most of the NPC's and side characters I can just do costume edits of other characters, but I'm wanting Elirica to be entirely original to the game.
I do know several people that could probably do it, but their all busy with projects of their own, and I don't wont to bother them. sweatdrop
Fortunately, there is no hurry, so I can take some time to work on getting the scripts and environment up to scale, and hopefully by then, something will turn up.  

[Palsa-San]

Started work on graphics fro the battle system. ^_^



This is an unfinished demo of Elirica's stance animation.
I used parts of Lita and Viese from Atelier Iris 1 and 2.  

[Asashikka]

Nice work so far~!

Ahaha I apologize for my lack of any response for a while. I was caught up with other obligations, activities, and interests so my time on GaiaOnline was minimized. *sigh* I miss "vacation" already... I'm anticipating the summertime just for that. I abhor the summer weather however... it seems that it gets increasingly warmer each year...

The only thing that looks a bit unnatural is how Elirica's hair flows. o_o; Does her hair naturally stand/stick out like that? If it's straight.. I think it might be best to redraw it so that most of it is concealed behind that sprite and just let a few strands of the revealed part to flow. Otherwise, the rendition came out great!  

[Palsa-San]

Yep, I noticed that as well and already fixed it, here is a newer version. ^_^



I also had to resize it down for various reasons.
On a side note, I have not added the character details, since her official portrait hasn't been drawn as of yet.  

[Asashikka]

Uwa.. it's been a while since I post here! >w<

How are you all doing?  

[Palsa-San]

I'm doing good, I just got back from visiting my relatives. ^_^  

[Asashikka]

That's nice~ >w<

I have a lot of things I should be doing.. but instead, I'm here browsing around on Gaia haha. xD  

[Palsa-San]

Same. ^_^
I've updated the game a bit, you can see some of the new graphics here:

Wow~ that's quite a development. o:
The floors throw me off since it doesn't follow the logic of distance and stuff (and probably is too difficult to implement at the time). 8D;  

[Palsa-San]

Heheh. ^_^
The floor and wall graphics are from Ar tonelico II and Mana Khemia 2.
I could probably adjust the floors pitch a slight bit to give off that illusion.

[Edit]

I applied a perspective adjustment to the floor, and added more detail:




 

[Asashikka]

The angle is much more better (and tolerable to fool my eyes of the illusion)~ oAo

Ah, I haven't gotten or played Mana Khemia II yet so no wonder the floor and wall graphics weren't all that familiar. 8D;

And ahh I'm taking a summer course I have a general dislike towards right now. n__n; It's Speech (or public speaking in general) ahaha...
